0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The website shopcdv.cz represents an e-commerce platform operated by Centrum dopravního výzkumu (CDV), a Czech organization specializing in transportation research and related expert services. The platform offers publications, methodologies, and professional services targeting both public and private sector stakeholders interested in transportation safety, planning, and sustainability. The business is positioned as a niche provider with a medium-sized footprint, founded in 2019, and focused on delivering research outputs into practical applications. The website is primarily in Czech with multilingual support and integrates social media channels for broader engagement. Technically, the site is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5. It employs hCaptcha for form security and Judge.me for customer reviews, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with accessibility and SEO considerations well implemented. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business location and sector. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and uses CAPTCHA to protect forms. However, explicit security headers and published security policies are lacking, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business and technical foundation with good security hygiene, though it could benefit from enhanced transparency on security policies and incident response. The risk profile is low, with no critical vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators detected.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

CDV operates in the transportation research sector, providing specialized publications and expert services through an e-commerce model. Their competitive advantage lies in their research expertise and direct application of findings to practical transportation challenges. Revenue streams likely include sales of publications, consulting services, and training events. The target customers are government agencies, private companies, and professionals in transportation planning and safety. The company maintains a professional online presence with integrated customer reviews and social media engagement, supporting growth and trust. Partnerships with Shopify and Judge.me enhance their digital commerce capabilities. The business model is focused on knowledge dissemination and expert consultancy, positioning CDV as a trusted authority in Czech transportation research.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and SSL properly configured, protecting data in transit. Use of hCaptcha mitigates automated abuse on forms. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by adopting additional headers, publishing security policies, and establishing formal incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance privacy disclosures with detailed data retention policies and user rights information to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify, a robust e-commerce platform, ensuring scalability and reliability. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript modules, CSS for responsive design, and integration with third-party services like Judge.me for reviews and hCaptcha for bot protection. Performance is optimized with CDN usage and asynchronous script loading. The site supports multiple languages and currencies, indicating a well-configured localization strategy. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation are present, improving usability. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
